Hollywood actor Antonio Banderas has confirmed that the Salvador Dali movie project has been delayed. According to various sources, the delay is actually due to an ideological dispute on the treatment of the script with the Gala-Salvador Dali Foundation.

The Gala-Salvador Dali Foundation currently serves as his official estate. The U.S. copyright representative for the Gala-Salvador Dali Foundation is the Artists Rights Society. In 2002, the Society made the news when they asked Google to remove a customized version of its logo put up to commemorate Salvador Dali, alleging that portions of specific artworks under their protection had been used without permission. Google complied with the request, but denied that there was any violation of copyright.

The script dispute centers on Dali's last days when his physical and mental health has rapidly deteriorated, and was apparently taken advantage of by certain people that he trusted – perhaps for profit.

Negotiations as still ongoing between the movie Director and the Gala-Salvador Dali foundation.
